Libertarian Nominee Bob Barr Now Opposes DOMA

Well, hell's frozen over. Barr was DOMA's biggest champion and one of the most conservative Republicans that rode the '94 revolution. Only a couple years ago, he was coming out against a Federal Marriage Amendment because he was insisting his law was good enough. Now he's saying it was a mistake. While I think he still has some nutty notions, he's clearly born-again on this issue.

I Hate what Barr stands for BUT he can be used to our advantage. If you are in a Battle ground state, and you know people who would not ever vote for Obama Put the bug in their ear that Barr is a good choise over McCain. Draw off votes for Mccain and maybe Obama will win the state. Ralph Nader did it twice to Gore and Kerry

I think it may have been from that piece of cheese Boratz gave him to eat. The Cheese made from Boratz's wife's tit milk.The look on Bob's face was priceless.

If Bob was going to siphon off votes from Senator McCain he would not oppose DOMA. Take it from a Republican, this is good news for Senator McCain.

There is an unfortunate split in the Republican party. The so called "Conservatives" are in a state of rebellion. If you listen to Rush Limbaugh and Shawn Hannity you would see this. If you could manage to think like a Republican just a little, you would understand the alarm of the RNC.

I've called the Rush Limbaugh show and chastized the rebels for their behavior citing they're acting like Democrats. They would wreck the whole train for some pet issue.

Bob Barr's opposition of DOMA would close off the rebelious Christian Taliban's options and keep them Republican.

Liberterian Bob Barr now is strongly opposed to DOMA. Where the hell has he been all this time. When DOMA was first proposed he was all for it. It took him this long to realize that DOMA is a horrendous law. I am still uneasy with politicians like Barr because they are highly unpredictable. You never know when they will suddenly change their minds. He impresses me as a politician that flip-flops on issues at his convenience.

That guy is such an embarrassment. He's riding off the old timers instead of trying to win new voters. He's just going to isolate the party from all the newly gained voters, especially the younger crowd. I'm most certainly not even entertaining the idea of voting his way.

If interested here are some of his policies (which differ from standard libertarian policies. Go figure)

I don't have a problem with Marijuana and I'm amazed that it isn't legal or at least decriminalized in this day and age. However, I see cocaine, heroin and methamphetimine as a serious chemical attack on Americans and support any measure to combat it.

We should do more to support Mexico in their efforts to combat this scourge. Colombia under the Uribe government has made significant progress.
